Miss Lois E. Wells

1866 - 1912

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  The remains of Miss Lois E. Wells arrived in Norwich Sunday evening, her death having occurred at Clifton Springs Sanitarium Saturday.  For four years Miss Wells had taught in the intermediate department of the South street school in Utica [Oneida Co., NY], leaving there for the sanitarium at the spring vacation.  Miss Wells was 47 years of age and was born in Syracuse [Onondaga Co., NY].  In her girlhood the family came to Norwich, where for many years her father was the leading photographer.  Miss Wells was educated in the Norwich Academy and later became an efficient teacher in the Norwich High School, severing her connection with that institution after a long period of faithful service to accept a similar but more remunerative position in Utica.  While in that city she was a member of the New Century Club and the Utica Teachers' Association.  She was the last survivor of her family, both parents and a brother having previously passed away.  Brief funeral services were held in the parlors of the First Baptist Church at 4 o'clock Tuesday, burial being made in Mount Hope Cemetery [Norwich, NY].  Among the floral tributes was a magnificent contribution from the teachers and pupils in the Utica school, showing esteem in which she was held by them and expressing the sentiment shared by all who knew her.  [Glen Buell Collection, Guernsey Memorial Library, Norwich, NY]
